PREFACE.
This story develops the characters Jennifer and Caitlin Dailey introduced
in chapters thirty one and thirty two of my story Juvenile Deterrence.
The story is set in the city of Eastbrook at a time when the
authoritarian governments that ruled the United States at that time had
long reintroduces slavery and encouraged other authoritarian practises to
maintain public order and stimulate economic recovery.
The social rationale behind the reintroduction of slavery all those years
ago centred around the need after the great crashes of the early parts of
the century to do something to try to regain economic stability in the
world.
Conventional economics had failed; the tried and tested solutions
applicable in the 20th century to fix things were not working. It didn't
seem to mater how much governments tried to stimulate the economy, how
many job creation programs were tried, how much taxes were lowered, what
incentives were offered to invest in new industries, the economy remained
a mess.
With higher and higher percentages of the country's wealth going on
welfare spending because of the huge unemployment rate, the only options
were to raise taxes to try to pay for it, or to "print money". There are
natural limits to the levels of taxation, and with fewer and fewer people
in paid employment; the tax take went down rather than up. The inevitable
consequence of the continuing need to "spend" was of course rampant
inflation, and, in the end, this was what tipped the balance.
Once you needed hundreds of dollars to buy a cup of coffee and money was
essentially worthless, society crashed.
Millions who had only known a life of relative luxury and ease suddenly
found themselves with no savings, no jobs, no income, and no hope.
On to the political stage at this pivotal moment in time walked G.W.
Shelley.
Shelley was elected as President solely on a platform of "getting back to
normal", and most electors frankly no longer cared how this was done as
long as it was done quickly!
He did start with the huge advantage of overwhelming popular support. He
began by attempting to stabilize the currency by what was, effectively,
an act of faith, announcing the "new dollar" to replace the devalued
greenbacks which were now required people to carry around millions of
them for even the simplest purchases.
As well as the actions taken to address the economic consequences of the
great crashes, President Shelley's reforms had also tackled the rising
tide of lawlessness that had swept over the country. To quell this,
President Shelley introduced enslavement orders. This action was
initially less popular, but once it was seen that they were working and
some semblance of "normal" life was returning, most of the population
stopped worrying about `rights or wrongs' and just went back to
enjoying their now more `normal' lives.
There were at the time of the crash enormous numbers of burglaries,
robberies and other street crimes and the police had been unable to
either detect the criminals and if they did, the procedural rules in the
courts meant that they were often never properly convicted or punished.
That had all changed when President Shelley closed the prisons and
reformed the courts so that the only punishment for crime was a sentence
of slavery. With the criminals caught and removed often permanently from
the streets, the police had more time to focus on finding and convicting
the remaining miscreants and the "positive feedback" effect meant that
crimes against property and citizens were now almost curious relics of a
bygone age.
It was cheaper to provide adequate food and housing for slaves rather
than for the unemployed on welfare, and of course it was easier to stop
them continuing to breed and adding to the problem. The theory was that a
life of slavery for 15% of the population was necessary to allow the rest
of the population to "return to normal".
The post was delivered by slaves, the garbage was collected by slaves,
the streets were kept clean by slaves and. But all these slaves looked
relatively happy, and in their smart uniforms they did not look all that
different from the free men who had been performing these sorts of
blue-collar jobs before the crash.
It was only when you went out into the rural areas that slavery really
intruded into your consciousness.
In the rural areas slaves were used in very large numbers, not the
cheerful, neatly-uniformed slaves that were used to perform duties around
Eastbrook, but chained field gangs of near-naked laborers toiling away
nurturing the crops under the oppressive hot sun encouraged in their toil
by their overseer's whips.
The introduction of slavery had swept away the remaining pre crash
vestiges of racial discrimination. If you looked along the rows of
manacled labourers you saw blacks and whites in almost equal numbers,
chained and all working together.
Even with the harsh new laws there always seemed to be a shortage of
slaves, especially labourer slaves. A new industry soon grew up with
legal sanction. Slaves were born and bred just for this purpose. These
slaves were never considered citizens and never had any rights. They
existed from their earliest years to serve and work. On these breeding
farms the bred slaves were brought up in a creche, then the nursery, play
groups, and junior work groups till they were sixteen years old and were
then eligible to be sold into general labouring tasks.
The great crash had also resulted in far more families becoming unable to
afford their lifestyles, and when their mortgages and loans were
recalled, a lot of them had no choice, if they did not want to be
enslaved themselves, but to sell their only assets, their adolescent
children into slavery.
This occurred mainly to adolescents aged between sixteen and twenty one
years of age. If the child was younger than sixteen then an education
program had to be implemented and restrictions upon the use of the slave
applied and were strictly enforced. This tended to lower their value and
worth greatly. Upon turning twenty one, full legal rights passed to the
individual and so no parent could sell their child after they attained
that age.
The ability to sell your child into slavery led to that greatest of
parental threats, "If you don't behave then you will be enslaved".
Thus was the world and community that Jennifer and Caitlin Dailey had
grown up amongst and which influenced their whole outlook on life and
people.
Chapter: 1 THE BEGINNING.
Fourteen year old Jennifer Dailey, already had a very attractive figure
and she used it to her advantage. She was tall and slim with blond hair,
small pert breasts, a trim waist and her stomach was tight and gently
rounded, while her hips had broadened giving her a very feminine
appearance
Through the friends of her mother, Gail, Jennifer had since the age of
twelve built up a very good business around her immediate neighbourhood
in West Eastbrook babysitting. She had a client list of numerous
families, all of whom used her services on a regular basis for she had
rapidly built up a reputation as a babysitter who did not brook any
nonsense from her charges, an attribute that most parents desired in
their babysitter especially when it came to looking after their sons.
This year Jennifer's twelve year sister Caitlin had been allowed by
their mother to join the business. Now they sometimes went to different
residences allowing the family babysitting business to expand and cover
more than one appointment at a time but at first Caitlin accompanied her
big sister to jobs so she could learn all the skills required to make a
success out of babysitting.
Jennifer and Caitlin's mother Gail Dailey was a single mother. Gail's
husband Rodney had been killed when the girls were only four and two
respectively in a commuter bus accident. Gail had received a substantial
insurance payout that had enabled her to bring up her two daughters
within a modest middle class lifestyle.
She had invested the money and it produced enough income to cover all
their daily living expenses and afford the Dailey family a modicum of
luxury as well, like the occasional holiday and a new car from time to
time, however it did not run to covering the expense of a family slave.
Gail had always shied away from buying a family slave. The cost of a good
slave was high and the upkeep was considerable, besides Slaves were not
too common in her immediate neighbourhood so the Dailey household
consisted of only Gail, her two daughters and their dog Elmo.
Gail's closest friend was her next door neighbour Dianne Spencer. They
had bought up their families together. Dianne having a son Aaron, who was
at thirteen, a year younger than Jennifer and a year older than Caitlin.
Aaron was a very attractive looking boy, blond hair, blue eyes, and five
foot two in height with a slim build. Numerous girls and a not
inconsiderable number of boys at West Eastbrook Middle School drooled
over his looks. Aaron had the build of an Adonis and he knew it though at
the same time he was a very shy boy and never took advantage of his looks
in getting a steady girlfriend. As a result he often strutted around his
neighborhood in either an open, flapping shirt or with no shirt on at all
if the weather was warm enough. This drove the girls and boys practically
wild as they feasted their young eager eyes on his smooth well-developed
chest and tummy muscles with its deep bronze tan which only accentuated
his good looks.
Jennifer and Caitlin had been the best of playmates with Aaron when they
were younger but as the years passed they grew more apart. When Mr
Spencer walked out on Dianne and Aaron when Aaron was aged eight, Dianne
had had a difficult time dealing with her divorce and wanted to do
everything possible to keep a good relationship with her son so she
spoiled him rotten over the next four years. Soon, she was catering to
his every whim and it became obvious to her friends like Gail that Aaron
was ruling the roost at home.
This new `man of the house' attitude did not go down well with Jennifer
in particular. When Aaron was eleven Jennifer started babysitting and
from day one she wished she was put in charge of minding Aaron. She knew
she could have quickly put him straight if she was allowed to apply her
newly developed talents in controlling boys.
To her great disappointment this did not happen. Mrs Spencer never used a
babysitter, allowing Aaron the freedom to look after himself from a
relatively young age. He was after all now the `man of the house' and
as such Mrs Spencer considered it not appropriate to have him babysat.
By the time Aaron was twelve, it became apparent, even to Dianne Spencer,
that she had her hands full with Aaron. His grades in school were
slipping badly, neighbours were complaining about him and he had become
very disrespectful and often rude to her.
Dianne continued to blame all of this on the bad company he hung around
with at and after school for she was convinced that Aaron was a good boy.
Both Jennifer and Caitlin just longed for the opportunity to see Aaron
naked before them. Over the last two to three years Jennifer had managed
to not just see many of her charges naked but inflict a good spanking on
their naked behinds as well. It disappointed her that her `hot' next
door neighbour had not fallen under her charge like so many other boys
had done.
This year had also seen Jennifer start High School. She was attending 9th
grade at West Eastbrook High whilst Caitlin was in 7th grade at West
Eastbrook Middle School.
Since 7th grade but especially since she started high school this year
Jennifer had built up a reputation amongst the local boys as a real
cocktease. She had had a number of boyfriends over the past two to three
years. Most of those guys had tried to score with her but failed. That is
not to say she didn't score with quite a few of them.
As a babysitter Jennifer had soon learnt that she was in a position of
power and authority beyond her meager years and that most of the parents
who hired her approved of her stern approach to managing their children,
especially their male offspring. Some had even instructed her to spank
their miscreant children if they warranted it.
From the age of twelve when she started babysitting, Jennifer rapidly
learnt that the male of the species was easily manipulated if you knew
how to use sex to your advantage. Her practical experiences with the
younger boys who she started out babysitting were quickly turned to
advantage in manipulating her boyfriends.
They all thought they could get into her pants but in truth it was one
hundred percent the other way. Jennifer always had her boyfriends naked
and slaves to her every wish before they knew what they had got
themselves into.
Jennifer soon realized that she was also very safe in dominating her
boyfriends like she did. No boyfriend was ever going to tell on her, the
last thing they wanted was the humiliation and embarrassment associated
with any public revelation that they had willingly been stripped naked,
spanked and masturbated by her on numerous occasions. Such a revelation
was not good for the young male ego.
Jennifer's fourteenth year was also significant because during that year
the Government had introduced the new `Taking Back Control' initiative
which encouraged parents and those in charge to take a more active role
in the disciplining of their children. This initiative was of concern to
all juveniles but slightly less so for Jennifer or Caitlin.
Their mother had always been a strict disciplinarian and had when they
were younger often spanked the girls bare naked on their bottoms to keep
them in line. They both learnt a lot from these lessons and it had now
been two years since Jennifer had last been spanked but only a few months
for Caitlin.
Jennifer had soon discovered through her babysitting that she enjoyed
spanking her charges. She especially relished punishing the boys she was
babysitting. The fact that she had been given bare naked spankings by her
mother was a fact that she hoped never came out. Just the thought of any
of her babysitting charges learning the truth of Jennifer's home
punishment regime was too much to contemplate and would certainly have
wrecked her ability to dominate over the males she babysat.
Between her own bare naked spankings and the ones she inflicted on her
charges and boyfriends Jennifer realized just as the architects of the
NEWDD system and later of `Taking Back Control' had discovered before
her, that humiliation, embarrassment, and punishment were all effective
tools in correcting and limiting inappropriate behavior and so her
punishment methods broadened over time from spanking to other even more
humiliating and embarrassing activities.
From her babysitting charges it was a natural progression that this
attitude would extend to her boyfriends.
Jennifer didn't really care one bit for the dignity or self-respect of
her charges or her boyfriends; she was the perfect example of how well
the Government had trained their citizens to accept humiliation,
embarrassment, punishment and slavery as normal social behaviors if
government sponsored and condoned.
Jennifer might well have grown into a different fourteen year old than
the one she now was, had the world she lived in been different and had
her first babysitting job not led her immediately to the realisation that
she was in a position of total power and authority over her new charge.
